Unless you know for a fact it's a huge data set you're calling, a timeout usually suggests a different problem. The client not locating the service or perhaps an authentication issue.

If it is a large dataset here's config to change the settings http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/wcf/thread/360f7997-82f8-40d0-8fd5-8cbbf1c44534

Also be aware, WCF has a maximum message size of 64k by default, but it can be adjust up to a few gig if necessary.
